On August 7, Instacart, Inc. (Maplebear Inc.) rose 11.59% in pre-market trading, trading at $50.25/share, with turnover of $625,200. The surge was driven by the company's better-than-expected Q2 results and robust Q3 guidance issued after market close the prior session.

Instacart reported Q2 revenue of $1.043 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.027 billion, representing a 14% year-over-year increase. Gross transaction value reached $103.5 billion, exceeding the expected $102.0 billion. Adjusted core profit came in at $313 million versus the $298 million estimate. However, GAAP EPS of $0.45 missed the $0.54 analyst consensus.

More critically, the company issued Q3 guidance well above expectations, projecting GTV of $103.0-$105.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $320-$340 million, both significantly above analyst forecasts. CEO Chris Rogers highlighted that Instacart's flywheel effect continues to strengthen its marketplace, advertising, and enterprise businesses, attracting and retaining more customers across platforms.
